[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the problem: the most important years in a child’s education are k-5.  Yet, the lower third of every college graduating class go into teaching (if they go into elementary education at all).  See the issue?[/quote]

This is a long standing problem. In order to attract higher caliber students to education programs, teacher pay needs to be raised which just isn't happening. If you raise pay, then likely more higher achieving kids will want to study education in college.  [/quote]

MCPS teachers who are on a 10-month schedule (don't have to work 2 months/year) start at $54,038 and go up to $118,814 with experience:

It's actually less than 10 months. Typically 180 days, and if my kids' teachers are typical, most take off a few days a month, so more like 160-170 days total. Now, I'm not trying to denigrate teachers, it can be a tough job, but want to paint an accurate picture.[/quote]
Teachers have 193 duty days from 8/22/22 to 6/20/23 this year. [/quote]
